The Supreme Court curbed the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to broadly regulate carbon emissions from existing power plants, a major defeat for the Biden administration's attempts to slash emissions at a moment when scientists are sounding alarms about the accelerating pace of global warming.
that if we touch the filibuster, Republicans will do worse
This is a fucking baby brained take. The Dems basically never used the filibuster when Trump was in office because they know full well if they use it the Republicans have no problem just ignoring it. It’s a rule that only applies to democrats.

They did. The biggest bill the was passed under Trump was the 2017 tax cuts which passed under budget reconciliation ( the way you can avoid the filibuster once per year). The filibuster definitely limited what the Trump govt could do (till Dems won the House)
The difference is that Republicans can advance their goals with the Federalist Society people on the Supreme Court (as we are seeing) so they benefit more from the filibuster being in place.
